Irving Johnson captured unique, high-angle movie footage from the mast of the four-masted barque Peking during huge storm during its 1929 voyage around Cape Horn. These black-and-white clips were later compiled into the classic documentary film “Around Cape Horn,” which Johnson personally narrated in 1980. It is available via the Mystic Seaport Museum.

It’s awesome video.
